[HIGHLIGHTS] Municipal elections in Turkey: “In Diyarbakir, there is an overwhelming domination of the pro-Kurdish party”

In Türkiye, municipal elections are being held this Sunday, March 31. In Diyarbakir, the pro-Kurdish party DEM could win 60 to 70% of the votes, estimates researcher Aurélien Denizeau.

According to opinion polls, Istanbul and Ankara should remain in the hands of the main opposition party, the CHP. The southeast region was hit partly by a devastating earthquake a year ago. It is quite complicated to calculate exactly the consequences of the earthquake.
